The Avatar's sky bison aimlessly soared through the night sky. Katara sat in front, cradling a limp Aang in her arms. Sokka calmed her with words of reassurance. "He's gonna be OK." The Gaang was fleeing from the city of Ba Sing Se. After clever planning and scheming, the infamous Fire Nation's Princess Azula had finally attempted to conquer the great city. Her brother had taken her side, and the powerful team suceeded.

The water tribe girl fought back tears as her friend's eyes remained closed. Some slid down her cheeks, and fell lightly onto Aangs forehead. His eyes opened slowly, and he smiled weakly at Katara. "Guys! Look! He's alright!" she cried to the others. Aang gasped in pain when the waterbender hugged him tightly. "Sorry." she whispered.

"You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher." "Dads going to kill you." "Now is the time to choose..." Prince Zuko woke from his nightmare in a cold sweat. He was in an unfamiliar room, adorned with green tapestries and portraits of Earth Kings. He held his head in his hands as thoughts swirled around his aching mind. "I betrayed Uncle! Father won't take me back, will he? Is Azula lying? Did I really change?" He flopped back onto the bed.
